A Tankathon Approach to the remaining Schedule

[TD alt]

Ladd has arguably been the best rookie receiver this season. He was drafted in the second round. 

fug, when was Parsons drafted, and who did we pick? Don't tell me that four or five draft spots is a reason to fail at drafting.

i said it before during and after the draft, i wanted Ladd or Mitchell and didn’t see it with Legette. I honestly think Morgan pulled a Hurney/Armanti Edwards and took Legette because local star

Looks like we stayed at #7 with the Jets moving ahead of us.

Horn at 8, Parsons 12

Im fine at 7 I think TMac is there then and if not should be either the best CB, DE, or DL.

People need to stop pointing to the Parsons pick as an example of a stud player being drafted outside the Top 10.

Parsons the draft prospect is NOT the player Parsons is today.

Going into the draft he was a MLB, not an edge rusher.  He got thrust into that role as a rookie because of all their injuries and he was so good at it that they changed up their plans for him.

Even the Cowboys missed on that projection of him or else they'd have just made him an edge rusher from the start, so people need to stop pointing to him as one example, because in reality, every single team in the league missed on that evaluation of him.

Depression to get destroyed and lose draft position. Tepper gonna have to spend a ton o money in FA and roster restructuring

Yep. fuging sucks. I have no idea how they did that. We had a decent lead on them a few weeks ago. We need some more luck. Cleveland looks like they’re tanking. That Robinson kid sucks and they won’t put in Winston. If the Dolphins lost, they could sit a bunch of guys next week against the Jets.

I guess if the Dolphins win, the Jets SOS could jump a bit and even more if the Dolphins beat them next week.

That Arizona win was fun but man, we actually had a legit shot at the top pick and maybe fleecing the Giants like we got fleeced by the Bears.

Need to root for Jets opponents to win next week. 2 percentage points separate the 6th and 7th pick

Perhaps, but there were more than a few who said that his potential was super high as an MLB. It was really the off-field questions that held him back a little bit. 

But, even if I concede that you're 100 percent right, the more KISS approach would've been to not overthink it and pick Surtain.

The KISS approach would've been to draft Ladd. He was the more proven talent, albeit with a little bit of an injury history.

Very real possibility Will Johnson is BPA when we’re picking 7…

I understand we need talent at literally every position but Mike Jack hasn’t been bad and they’re going to lock up Horn

If we do end up with Johnson and Horn I’d like to see us play a crap load of man

[tukafan21]

Jets currently ahead of us by .002 in the SOS

I'd love to know what has to happen over the final games this week and next for us to have a worse SOS than them, but that seems like WAY too much work to try and dig into and figure out lol

Why? I can name 3 other players arguably as good or better than Horn in that draft. The point is, there’s no reason to lose sleep over picking 4 vs 7 unless there’s a generational guy which there isn’t. We have the same shot of screwing up 4 and we do 7, just whatever happens happens. BPA at one of our biggest needs
